Yes, Chris! That is what I would have thought too, which is why I too have been so confused! BUT, being unfamiliar with the full workings of XP, I thought that maybe it was setup somehow to accomodate that.
So after reading everybody's (extremely helpful!) responses, I am guessing that if I take my TMP (Tanya Mayer Photography) folder that contains pretty much all of my data, pix etc and is currently around 12gb in size, and just dump it on the D: it would be ok? I am still concerned due to the title of the D: being "restore", it really makes me wonder if I should be using it... Also, as raised by Nick (and suggested by Robert), I have wondered about setting my scratch disk for PS to D: - should I do this, or wouldn't it have any effect due to the fact that it is only a drive partition and not a separate physical drive? It is currently set to use "StartUp" as the first scratch disk, and D: as the second. Can anyone tell me why there are choices for up to four separate scratch disks and how should I be setting them up in order of preference... Thanks again for all of your great responses, you have all pretty much confirmed what I already knew, but now I understand why I don't appear to have the full amount of gb etc. What would I do without this list...?!?! <vbg> tan. -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 28 March 2004 11:21 AM To: Tanya Mayer Photography; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Computer Question Hi Tanja,I am just a little perplexed at your problem.I have an HP t134a(Windows XP) with a 120 GB Hard drive and it is partitioned for restore but the main partition C Drive is 100 GB with the "restore"D drive 20 GB.It seems to me your ratios are all wrong.You quote 40GB "c Drive and 60GB "D"drive.They should be reversed with your C drive being the larger by far of the two.
